Businesses of all sizes, in every sector, worldwide are using the circular economy to create a competitive edge. Circular approaches re-think product design, material choice and business models to reduce risk, increase customer engagement and improve competitiveness. This workshop is for SMEs from any sectors wanting to investigate Circular Economy approaches for their business.

This event will be led by Catherine Weetman, author of ‘A Circular Economy Handbook for Business and Supply Chains‘.

Attendees will:

  • Explore the principles and practical application of circular economy approaches
  • Apply circular economy approaches to help you ‘rethink’ your product design and material sources
  • Investigate how supply chain processes including sourcing and procurement, manufacturing and resource recovery can benefit from circular interventions
  • Use diagnostics to identify how circular thinking can create new, ‘future-fit’ value for your business.
